    The iOS port just isn't the remake that the game deserves.

    Without combat or much in the way of jump scares, In Fear I Trust is a mobile horror game that works well with the platform to focus on exploration and atmosphere to send a chill down a player's spine.

    Suits and Swords has a charming world but its reliance purely on Blackjack holds it back, amounting to a repetitive and often frustrating game.

    The developers clearly wanted to pack a lot of variety into the game, and to that end they have succeeded. But all of the variety in the world is meaningless if the controls to play through it are excruciatingly imprecise.

    Farm Heroes Saga offers a new scoring system to differentiate itself from Candy Crush Saga, but that new mechanic is ultimately undermined by level goals and pacing that is meant to challenge your wallet more than your mind.

    Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition is still an excellent RPG to this day though, so regardless of what platform you play it on, it is an adventure you won't soon forget.

    OlliOlli achieves exactly what it set out to by providing a stern test of player's reflexes, with a level of playability that will keep them coming back for more punishment. You'll feel the desire to smash your Vita on some of the more taxing courses, but the urge to get back up on that skateboard for yet another attempt will prevent you from going through with it.

    Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD offers a number of improvements over the Vita original, some of which enhance the experience by facilitating smoother gameplay, yet many of the title's weaknesses are amplified on the larger screen.

    Of course, that is assuming the second act can satisfactorily tie everything together. Act 1, if played at a relaxed pace while exploring every dialog possibility, is about a three-hour adventure.

    Nidhogg is definitely a blast if you have a few friends around, and it's easy to see why it has been hyped up over the last few years.

    Ultimately, however, it feels like going on an island tour in a hot and cramped bus that's traveling at 10mph. There are things to see and fun to be had, but only if you're prepared to wait for it.

    Joe Danger Infinity doesn't take the series to new heights, but the old daredevil still has plenty of life left in him.

    Sadly it is a short-lived experiment, making it a difficult game to whole-heartedly recommend, but those who find relaxation in flashes of psychedelic colors will fall for Simian.Interface's charms.

    Archangel is slow to get started, but after gaining some abilities and spells the pace of combat picks up for a satisfying and long-lasting dungeon crawler.

    On the surface, Halo: Spartan Assault is a solid twin-stick shooter, much better suited to consoles than mobiles and PC. Ultimately, however, it feels like a mobile game, containing breezy missions that aren't much to look at and provide little in the way of a challenge. Oh, and it costs twice the price to access.

    Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed on iOS may suffer compared to versions of the game on other systems, but for kart racers on a smartphone it's one of the best games in town.

    Feed Me Oil 2 is a fun and charming puzzle game that won't leave you stuck scratching your head over a solution for hours.

    Loot Hero is a short experience, with it possible to reach the dragon in under 10 minutes, but the difficulty increases each playthrough to encourage you to charge through it all again.

    While the Ridge Racer series has been rather hit and miss in its last few iterations, Ridge Racer Slipstream feels like a return to form for fans of Namco's careening cars.

    No Brakes Valet is fun novelty, but probably not a game that can be played for long stretches of time. In the world of mobile games it's priced a bit on the high end for that though, making it a game best recommended to only the most passionately irreverent players.

    Fightback is one of the few brawlers that really takes advantage of touch controls for a unique and satisfying combat system.

    Much like the sibling rivalry at its core, Max: The Curse of Brotherhood is a game of extremes. The game can get so frustrating you'll wish it would just go away, but then on the next puzzle everything works as it should and it becomes difficult not to fall for its charms.

    Cut the Rope 2 brings creative new puzzles to the table without losing track of what made the original game so addictive in the first place. With the promise of more worlds on the way, Om Nom fans can happily look to Cut the Rope 2 to help satisfy their appetite for puzzle games.

    Republique's first episode is a strong, if somewhat short, introduction to the stealth series that holds a lot of promise, but could still use some refinement before the second episode arrives.

    Wii Fit U really does take advantage of the software and hardware available, even if there are a lot of individual devices to keep track of.
    • 76 Metascore

    Combat and exploration is still enormously satisfying, and the narrative is powerful, but without enough fresh ideas that it can call its own, 'Freedom Cry' feels like too much, too soon.
    • 78 Metascore

    Ultimately, the only real sin committed by All That Remains is that it's a first episode to the second season rather than a sixth episode to the first season.

    Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on iOS is easily the worst way to experience a game that many people regard as one of the best games ever made.

    There is a decent if repetitive kart racer here, but no game could be decent enough to excuse Rovio's tactics of extortion.
    • 93 Metascore

    Even without the platform versatility of its other versions Skulls of the Shogun is still among the best strategy games to grace iOS, and one that armchair generals shouldn't pass up.
